"some_code" is already a sub routine function!

I can use perl expansion in system filter, but have error in normal user's
filter. Have you try that?

'some_code' should not be some code. It should be a subroutine name.

The subroutine should be in a separate file, and included with something
like:
perl_startup = do '/etc/exim.pl'

This is documented in the online specification, the "Embedded Perl"
section.

And yes, I initially made this mistake. Then I sat and read the docs
thoroughly. Enlightenment dawned.
